Tony & Eva’s New Business Venture: A Laundromat?

I made a pleasant discovery quite by accident this weekend. I found out that Tony and Eva are in the laundry business!

Let me explain.

When my son, Michael, asked me if I knew how much it cost to do a load of wash at a laundromat, I asked, “Why?” He said a college aged friend of his wanted to know.

Good question.

I quickly Googled “Laundromats in San Antonio” and clicked on web site titled “The Minute Wash Laundromat” that came up at the top of the page.

That’s when the fun started.

I was intrigued by the simplicity of the site and after I found what Michael wanted to know, ($1.25 for 18 lbs.), I continued to scan the web page.

Now, being totally immersed personally in the media and all-things Internet, I was very impressed that someone had built the perfect web site, given the service and product.

That someone, is Tony Zavala, who along with his wife Eva, and perhaps without knowing it, has followed the rules of marketing success to a T.

Don’t worry, you’ll get the see the site for yourself in a moment.

Here’s what is right with the site:

• Name and logo are prominently displayed at the top of the page.

• There are ample pictures of what you can expect to find when you get there.

• Prices are easy to find and understand.

• Directions include a Mapquest link.

• Tony’s commitment to customer service is shown by his request for feedback.

• You can print out and clip “money saving” coupons.

• Anyone who visits the site can add their email address for “seasonal specials.”

• They even have a special offer for charities.

What’s wrong with the site? Nothing.

In fact, I noticed that the site is “hosted for free by GoDaddy,” a domain seller. So, for the price of their name, (under $10) they are doing everything right and even have a high Google ranking. Who says you have to spend thousands to get the job done?

And here, ladies and gentlemen, is what impressed me the most:

This site has it’s own custom video. Not just any video, but what may be the cutest video I’ve watched in a long time, starring (I’m guessing) the Zavala’s young daughter. She steals the show.

See for yourself.

Applause to you, Tony and Eva and may God bless you!

You have proven that when you do what you love, love what you do, AND give your customers everything they want and more with great pride, the world will beat a path to your door.

In this case, the door of The Minute Wash Laundromat, at 5514 Evers Road in San Antonio.
